Join us in this episode as we talk with Eric Flottmann, the co-founder of the revolutionary Flip Fuel Device. Eric shares his inspiring journey of creating a product that has changed the game for backpacking, hiking, and any other outdoor adventure you are on where you are using a camp stove that uses isobutane fuel. Discover the technology, design process, and environmental benefits behind the Flip Fuel Device as we explore its impact on the industry. Tune in for an engaging discussion with Eric Flottmann as he unveils the story and vision behind this innovative solution. We also talk about how he has gotten his kids into hiking and being in nature instead of sitting in a house all day playing video games. Eric also does a lot with the Boy Scouts, taking them on different fun trips. Flip Fuel is one of our donating partners for HangCon here in Florida, and now, also a donating partner for HangCon Europe.

This is a special episode that Pheonix and I recorded live while at HangCon 2024, so if the audio sounds a little different than usual, that would be why. We decide that we wanted to do a live, in person recording at HangCon so that some of our guests could participate and ask questions if they wanted to. Some did, but most just sat and listened to Pheonix and I talk.

This week Pheonix is back with me and he has a special guest with him. He took a trip up to Virginia to spend a little time with a childhood friend, his beast friend to be exact, James Lawrie, and so he drug him on this weeks episode so we could all chat for awhile. They tell us when and how they met,  why they became best friends, and why they refer to themselves as twins.  Before we hear all of that though, of course you have to hear Pheonix and I talk about HangCon since it is only 6 days away from the release of this episode.   So let's get on with it so we can hear from James and AJ..   Connect with Skunkape & Pheonix Email : skunkape@thehammockhangerspodcast.com Website : https://www.hikingradionetwork.com/show/the-hammock-hangers-podcast-1/ Facebook : https://www.facebook.com/TheHammockHangersPodcast Instagram : https://www.instagram.com/the_hammock_hangers_podcast YouTube : https://www.youtube.com/@thehammockhangerspodcast   If you are enjoying The Hammock Hangers Podcast and you want to help us grow, make sure to leave a review on Apple Podcast, Google Podcast, or any other platform that you are listening from.

Our guest this week is the Founder & CEO of Tentsil, Alex Shirley-Smith. Tentsile is a blend of both a hammock and a tent. You are suspended in the air between trees like a hammock, but you have the space and room of a tent that can hold multiple people. We have a nice chat with Alex, and hear about his passion for nature and the outdoors, along with how the idea for Tentsile was born.  We also talk about all of the great gear that they make and how modular it is.  Also, Tentsile is one of our donating partners of HangCon, and Alex has sent in one of the Trillium 3 person hammocks for the raffle, plus he has sent me one of the Stingrays to set up at the event for you to see and try out. There will also be a QR code that you can scan to get 30% off everything in your cart.  Let's get on with the episode so that you can hear more from Alex.

This is our 3rd episode that was recorded on-site at the Palmetto State Hangers, Fall Sprawl. Our guest this week is David Hughes, or some of you may know him better as Phantom Grappler. David has been in the hammock community for quite some time now, and is the one that took over the Yates Hang so that it would keep going. David is also a master of knots, so if you have been to some of the other hangs around and Phantom is there, I am sure he is giving a knot tying class somewhere.

This is the 2nd of 3 episodes that Pheonix and I recorded onsite in South Carolina at the Fall Sprawl Hang that is hosted by The Palmetto State Hangers. Our guest for this episode is Jason Flowers, from Walhalla Hammocks and Outdoors. Pheonix and I had tried to record with Jason several times a while back but ended up having technical issues every time. We figured that this time with us face to face, that we could make it happen. Jason is another one of our good friends, and also one of our favorite vendors to just hang out with and chat some.  We find out from Jason how he got his start into the hammocking world, and how that lead him into making all of the top notch, awesome gear that he makes. Pheonix even talks about the custom hammock that Jason made for him that has some sentimental value to it.  Pheonix and Jason also team up against me when they start talking about their late night snacking on Crapple...... I mean, Scrapple....  Let's go ahead and get on with the episode so we can hear more from Jason.

This is 1 of 3 episodes that Pheonix and I recorded onsite in South Carolina at the Fall Sprawl Hang that is hosted by The Palmetto State Hangers. Our guest for this first episode is Barry Garibaldi, or also known as Cajun. Barry is one of our good friends that is a huge supporter in the hammocking community. He is a gear rep for 8 cottage vendors that I am sure you are very familiar with and may even have some of their gear.  Barry makes it to about 32 hangs each year to show off some of the different gear from each of the vendors that he reps for, and helps people get set up with the gear that is right for them. Let's go ahead and get on with the chat with Barry, and let him tell you how he got into hammocking, how he became a vendor rep, and why he loves going to all of the different hangs and helping others out with their gear choices.   Links of Interest :  Yobo Gear : https://yobogear.com/ Walhalla Hammocks & Outdoors : https://www.walhallahammocksandoutdoors.com/ Superior Gear : https://superiorgear.com/ Tensa Outdoor : https://www.tensaoutdoor.com/ Trail Headz : https://www.trailheadzhammocks.com/ Autumn Outdoor Gear : https://www.autumnoutdoorgear.com/ Dutchware Gear : https://dutchwaregear.com/ Sierra Madre Research : https://sierramadreresearch.com/   Connect with Skunkape & Pheonix : Email : skunkape@thehammockhangerspodcast.com Website : https://www.hikingradionetwork.com/show/the-hammock-hangers-podcast-1/ Facebook : https://www.facebook.com/TheHammockHangersPodcast Instagram : https://www.instagram.com/the_hammock_hangers_podcast YouTube : https://www.youtube.com/@thehammockhangerspodcast   If you are enjoying The Hammock Hangers Podcast and you want to help us grow, make sure to leave a review on Apple Podcast, Google Podcast, or any other platform that you are listening from.

Our guest this week is another YouTube sensation that has 14,000 subscribers and over 500 awesome videos uploaded that consist of everything from gear review videos to trip videos and how to videos. He has been making these great videos for everyone to watch since 2015. His name is Mark Orton, or many of you may know him as Spiguyver, from the  Spiguyver Backpacking channel on YouTube. The episode is a little different this week because Skunkape had a change in his work schedule which prevented him from being able to be here, but Pheonix took the reins and had a great one on one conversation with Mark. They chat about a little bit of everything from how Mark got into the camping and hammocking world, his YouTube channel and videos, and also about a medical concern that Mark found out he had.  So sit back and get comfy while we listen to Pheonix and Spiguyvers chat.   Make sure to check out the links below and like, follow, and subscribe to all of the social media accounts for both Spiguyver and The Hammock Hangers Podcast   Connect with Mark YouTube : https://www.youtube.com/@SpiguyverBackpacking1/about Facebook : https://www.facebook.com/spiguyverbackpacking Instagram : https://www.instagram.com/spiguyverbackpacking   Connect with Skunkape & Pheonix Email : skunkape@thehammockhangerspodcast.com Website : https://www.hikingradionetwork.com/show/the-hammock-hangers-podcast-1/ Facebook : https://www.facebook.com/TheHammockHangersPodcast Instagram : https://www.instagram.com/the_hammock_hangers_podcast YouTube : https://www.youtube.com/@thehammockhangerspodcast   If you are enjoying The Hammock Hangers Podcast and you want to help us grow, make sure to leave a review on Apple Podcast, Google Podcast, or any other platform that you are listening from.

This weeks episode marks the start of second year of episodes on the podcast, so Pheonix and I thought it would be fun to look back on our first year of doing the podcast. We talk about some of the earlier episodes that we recorded,  how the podcast was born, some of our learning experiences, and what we have planned for the future of the podcast.

This weeks episode is a special milestone for The Hammock Hangers Podcast, as it is the 52nd, weekly episode. That is one whole year of all of you awesome people putting up with the sound of mine and Pheonix's voices. We both want to thank all of you for sticking with us each week and helping us grow. Our guests this week are Heather Beck and Richard Nance, 2 of the board members of the Palmetto State Hangers group. This is the South Carolina hammock group that puts on Fall Sprawl, The Holiday Hang, Frozen Butt Hang, Spring Swing, and the Swamp Butt Hang each year.  This week though we are going to introduce you to Richard Nance, which is the new President of the group, and we are also going to talk some about the 2023 Fall Sprawl hang coming up in October. We hear about some of the classes and events that they will have goin on, along with hearing about some of the vendors that will be there set up for you talk to and buy gear from.  We can't leave out talking about the raffle either, where you have a chance to win some really awesome gear from those vendors and others that have sent in gear donations.  You will hear how all of the money that is raised from the raffle ticket sales don't go to the club, but goes to the state parks for a special event that they hold each year where they buy gear for families that have no idea what it's like being in the outdoors camping. So all of that money is going to a great cause. If you would like to make a donation to help out that cause and help get a new family into nature, you can do that as well by sending money via PayPal (Friends & family) to palmettostatehangers21@gmail.com   Connect with Palmetto State Hangers Facebook : https://www.facebook.com/palmettostatehangers21 Instagram : https://www.instagram.com/palmettostatehangers/   Connect with Skunkape & Pheonix Email : skunkape@thehammockhangerspodcast.com Website : https://www.hikingradionetwork.com/show/the-hammock-hangers-podcast-1/ Facebook : https://www.facebook.com/TheHammockHangersPodcast Instagram : https://www.instagram.com/the_hammock_hangers_podcast YouTube : https://www.youtube.com/@thehammockhangerspodcast   If you are enjoying The Hammock Hangers Podcast and you want to help us grow, make sure to leave a review on Apple Podcast, Google Podcast, or any other platform that you are listening from.
